For more than two decades, the Shelby Cooper Memorial Golf Outing has brought together friends, families, businesses, and community members for a day of fellowship, generosity, and giving back. What began as a small memorial tournament in honor of Shelby has grown into one of our community's most meaningful annual traditions.
The 2026 outing marked our 20th anniversary—a milestone that gave us the opportunity to reflect on just how far this event has come. Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and donors, the outing welcomed 35 teams, more than 150 golfers, and raised a record amount to support our mission.
Proceeds from the golf outing make it possible for us to award scholarships to Lucas High School graduates, provide grants to local community initiatives, and invest in programs that strengthen the lives of families throughout our community. In our 20th year, we were especially proud to begin fully sponsoring the Blessings in a Backpack program for Lucas Local Schools, helping ensure students have access to nutritious food over weekends and school breaks.
None of this would be possible without the people who continue to support our mission year after year. We extend our heartfelt thanks to every sponsor, golfer, volunteer, donor, and supporter who has helped make the outing a success over the past twenty years. Your generosity allows us to continue investing in the students, families, and organizations that make our community stronger.
Thank you to our 2026 sponsors for making this milestone event possible. We invite you to browse the photo gallery below to relive some of our favorite moments from the day.
